This sweet side can be made in the oven or a slow cooker in just over an hour or overnight.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes-overnight
  • Yield: Serves 4-6

Ingredients

Units
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cups (3 15-oz cans or 2 cups dried) white beans, such as Great Northern or navy beans
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 3 Tbsp black strap molasses
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • ¼ of 1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced (remove seeds for a milder taste)
  • 1 tsp adobo sauce
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Heat the oil in a skillet and add the onion. Sautee for 5-10 minutes, or until browned and becoming translucent. In an oven-safe Crockpot or casserole dish, combine the onions, beans (if using dried beans they need to be soaked overnight and then cooked on the stovetop) and other ingredients.
  2. Mix gently with a spoon until well combined.
  3. Cover the pot or casserole dish and bake for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, or until sauce has thickened. If too much liquid remains, bake uncovered for 15-30 minutes until the beans have reached your desired consistency.
  4. You can also try cooking this overnight by keeping the oven at 200°F, or placing the mixture in a slow cooker set to low heat.

Notes

For best flavor, eat the next day.
